Analyze Cell dialog box

The Analyze Cell dialog box displays the analysis results for a cell on a single target echogram.

To display the Analyze Cell dialog box:

  1. Point to a cell on a single target echogram.

  2. On the Shortcut menu (right-click), click Analyze Cell.

The analysis variables that are displayed are described in the table below.

Analysis variable

Description

General

TS mean

The mean in the linear domain of the compensated TS values of the targets in the cell.

TS minimum

The minimum compensated TS of the targets in the cell.

TS maximum

The maximum compensated TS of the targets in the cell.

TS Standard Deviation

The standard deviation of the backscattering cross section taken in the linear domain.

Domain

Beam volume sum

The sum of the beam volumes of all pings in the cell, see Beam_volume_sum for more information.

Target range/depth mean

The average range/depth of all targets in the cell, see About depth, range and altitude.

Target length mean

The average target length of all targets in the cell. See About target length mean.

Note: Only variables that include target length estimations will display a result. See About target properties.

Exclude below line range/depth mean

The mean range/depth of the exclude-below line over the range of pings covered by the cell, see About depth, range and altitude.

Note: Only pings with a line status of 'good' are used in this calculation.

Counts

Single targets

The number of single targets in the cell.

Pings

The number of pings in the cell.

Cell

Interval

Interval number of the cell.

Layer

Layer number of the cell.

Warning:   Depth mean is calculated using Target_on_axis_depth not Target_true_depth, and targets are excluded based on their target_on_axis_depth value not their target_true_depth value.
